Cruises in Corsica
Among Corsica's many popular activities, cruising continues to attract a large number of yachtsmen from both mainland France and Europe! A Mediterranean island known for its dream beaches, Corsica is also a land of unspoilt landscapes, still in their raw state, where nature-lovers will be delighted. Areas sometimes accessible only by sea make a private or group cruise an irresistible experience!
Where to cruise in Corsica?
Have you always dreamed of taking a cruise with your children or as a couple? Wherever you stay in Corsica, a cruise is always possible. For a day, a weekend or longer, a Mediterranean cruise will leave you with unforgettable memories!
Here are a few ideas for cruises and boat trips you won't want to miss:
Cruise to the Agriate from Saint-Florent
Discover the beauty of Haute-Corse from Saint-Florent. With its many small shops scattered along its quays, as typical as they are colorful, a cruise from Saint-Florent lets you cast off for the Agriate coast , a natural site protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral. You'll have the chance to swim at the famous Lotu and Saleccia beaches and explore the marine environment.
Balagne cruise from Calvi to the Cape
The capital of the Balagne region in north-west Corsica, Calvi is the ideal starting point for discovering Cap Corse, or further south, Porto, Cargèse or the Gulf of Sagone. A great opportunity to discover the coastline under sail, to anchor in magnificent little coves, to hike through the scrubland, or to enjoy the beaches in the shade of the pines. A cruise full of flavors, perfect for enjoying Corsican specialties and visiting the Calvese citadel as well as the many historic sites and monuments.
Family catamaran cruise in Ajaccio Bay
Corsica is an island that's easy to explore, and a cruise to Ajaccio takes you to a very accessible part of the island. Located on the west coast, Ajaccio offers a pleasant atmosphere that can be found in the town's restaurants, cafés and numerous stores. Charming places to put your feet up, have a drink or an aperitif and enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle. Napoleon Bonaparte's birthplace offers safe anchorages, so you can disembark not far from the old town and its historic sites. An open-air museum town to discover at your own pace! Its generous bay offers crystal-clear water for diving and snorkeling.
Discover Southern Corsica by boat from Porto-Vecchio
Considered Corsica's third-largest city, Porto-Vecchio is a major tourist destination in the Mediterranean thanks to its mild weather, magnificent beaches (Palombaggia and Santa Giulia) and easy access. Offering a variety of superb anchorages, a catamaran cruise between Corsica and Sardinia will not only allow you to discover the coastline, but also to enjoy diving and sailing.
Windward day at Bonifacio
Corsicans say the wind was born in Bonifacio! It leads everywhere, and for many years it has shaped this majestic and seductive town, adorning it with white cliffs that you can discover by boat. Perhaps you'll go as far as the heart of its beauty, the archipelago of the Lavezzi Islands, where granite boulders mingle with turquoise seabeds for a swim in transparent water inhabited by numerous fish.
When to cruise the Mediterranean
While it's possible to visit Corsica almost all year round, prices are more attractive outside the high season, and the same applies to cruises. Taking a cruise in September will still allow you to enjoy pleasant water, mild weather and, above all, more peace and quiet. In May, you'll have the chance to see endangered birds , including osprey in the Scandola reserve will be frequent, and outside July and August, the likelihood of encountering dolphins is not uncommon! Take the swell away from the crowds, that's what we offer.
With Corsicatours, discover Corsica differently on a catamaran departing from Ajaccio! Choose from three cruises to discover North Corsica, South Corsica or Sardinia in a single week.
Welcome to Corsica!
